AppImage crashes due to libvips assertion failure (on arch btw)

Nora v3.1.0-stable AppImage crashes immediately after adding a music folder. The error is:

Seems related to how sharp or libvips is handling images in the folder. Please investigate.

Operating System: I use arch btw Installation Type: AppImage

Really want to use Nora! Awesome App!! Much love!

I'd like to point out that I'm also having this issue.

Curiosity got the best of me, and this issue seems to occur specifically with .ogg files. .mp3 and .wav files do not have this issue (they have their own separate issue with FFMPEG).

Correction, actually: all of my .ogg songs have thumbnails. It's the thumbnails themselves that are the issue, it seems.
